Vertex Ventures

Vertex Ventures is a new, early-stage fund formed by technology veterans Jonathan Heiliger and In Sik Rhee.

In 2015, we launched the Infosys Innovation Fund to invest in entrepreneurial ventures delivering innovation in domains relevant to our core business. Our aspiration was to amplify start-ups that build purposeful solutions while being steered by innovators who share the same mindset as the seven founders of Infosys – nurturing deep client relationships with an unwavering commitment to ethics and mutual respect. Infosys is the sole investor in the Fund, and invests on the basis of finding and forging strategic fits that also bring adequate financial return. This differentiates the Infosys Innovation Fund from most other venture capital institutions, in that we have a strong motivation to create long term value for the end users of the technology and solutions being developed.
